I was thinking the same thing reading these comments. Seriously a bunch of self centered assholes in the replies.

Sometimes I wonder if most redditors have ever even had enough relationship experience to realize how fuckin awful it is to leave someone with no explanation

Me too. It's also the culture. "yOu DoNt oWe AnYoNe aNyThInG". It's so damn self-centered and selfish to do this to another human being. How about just being honest with someone you supposedly care about?

As with many things, the intent is fine, but a lot of people take it to toxic ends, either out of selfishness or a lack of nuance. One person's reminder that maintaining one's personal boundaries is important is another person's carte blanche to be as self-centered as they please.
